"Contact Poison Dragon immediately and apologize to him! Try to become his friend!" Jiang Xue said.
Chen Jie chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Xue asked.
"I'm laughing at your ignorance."
Chen Jie said indifferently, "You want me to be friends with Poison Dragon, but you haven't considered whether Poison Dragon is worthy of being my friend!"
"My real goal is to make Poison Dragon my dog!"
Jiang Xue's heart skipped a beat, and then her gaze towards Chen Jie was filled with disappointment.
This guy had no idea how high the sky was or how thick the earth was, and yet he wanted to be her boyfriend? Dream on!
No wonder he was crippled. With his arrogant temper that disrespected everyone, even if it wasn't the Zhou family, someone else would have taught him a lesson.
"You are truly hopeless!" Jiang Xue said angrily.
Just then, a Maybach stopped beside them.
A middle-aged man stepped out.
He came up to them and said politely, "May I ask if you are Young Master Chen and Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Xue was taken aback and looked at the man in front of her curiously.
"It's me. Who are you?" Chen Jie asked.
"I am the butler of the Wang family, Sun Peng. Miss Wang would like to invite you to her home."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue was stunned.
"Miss Wang really wants Chen Jie to be her fiancé?" Jiang Xue exclaimed.
Sun Peng nodded politely.
Receiving this news, Jiang Xue felt a wave of relief. If Chen Jie were to become Wang Xiaoyan's fiancé, then he would have nothing to do with her.
Perhaps he would leave her family soon. She couldn't help but secretly smirk, thinking that Wang Xiaoyan's taste wasn't great either if she could fall for Chen Jie.
Anyway, it was a good thing for her. This way, her father wouldn't force her to marry Chen Jie anymore.
She immediately said to Chen Jie, "Go ahead, I'm leaving."
"Miss Jiang, Miss Wang also wishes to see you," Sun Peng said politely.
"What? She wants to see me too?"
Jiang Xue was startled, but quickly came to her senses.
Many people knew about her and Chen Jie's relationship, and Wang Xiaoyan was likely no exception. Perhaps she saw her as a threat and wanted to talk.
She could use this opportunity to explain things clearly with Wang Xiaoyan.
Jiang Xue immediately decided to go to the Wang family with Chen Jie.
Soon after, the two were led to the Wang family's residence by Sun Peng.
It was Chen Jie's first time at the Wang family's home. The last time he saw Wang Xiaoyan, it was only at Wang's Corporation.
The Wang family's mansion covered an area of two thousand square meters, with a rock garden, a pond, and a gym, fully equipped with various facilities.
Even the Zhou family's manor seemed somewhat inadequate in comparison.
Jiang Xue, despite her family now owning all of the Zhou family's assets, still had the mentality of a nouveau riche. Being invited into such a luxurious mansion for the first time made her quite nervous.
She discreetly glanced at Chen Jie and found that this bumpkin was much calmer than her, completely unfazed by the grand mansion.
She sneered inwardly, "It seems thick skin is a good thing. At least you can charm a rich young lady like Wang Xiaoyan."
As the two reached the entrance of the main building, a beautiful figure walked out.
"Chen Jie, you're finally here," Wang Xiaoyan greeted them with a smile.
She was wearing a green dress today, looking like an innocent maiden.
Although Chen Jie had already witnessed Wang Xiaoyan's beauty, seeing her again, he couldn't help but be struck by her appearance.
Jiang Xue, too, looked at Wang Xiaoyan in surprise.
She had only seen Wang Xiaoyan online or on television before, and knew she was beautiful, but she never expected her to be several times more stunning in person than in photos.
For a moment, she was overwhelmed by Wang Xiaoyan's aura and felt a sense of inadequacy.
While they were both beautiful women, their different life experiences made Jiang Xue merely a somewhat spoiled young lady, far from possessing Wang Xiaoyan's refined气质 (qìzhì - demeanor/temperament).
She thought, no wonder the bumpkin was unwilling to give her up.
Chen Jie nodded, "Let me introduce you. This is Jiang Xue, my uncle's daughter."
"Jiang Xue, this is Wang Xiaoyan."
Jiang Xue nodded nervously and said to Wang Xiaoyan, "Hello, Miss Wang."
"Hehe, let's go inside and sit," Wang Xiaoyan nodded at Jiang Xue and then said to both of them.
There was no one else in the living room.
Wang Xiaoyan said to Chen Jie with some awkwardness, "Chen Jie, I invited you here today originally for my father to meet you, but something unexpected came up."
"What unexpected event?" Chen Jie asked, surprised.
"My father's old illness has relapsed, and he's confined to bed. He might not be able to see you," Wang Xiaoyan said.
Chen Jie's expression shifted, "Oh? What kind of illness does your father have?"
Seeing him ask, Wang Xiaoyan suddenly remembered that Chen Jie had helped her detoxify before and asked, "Do you want to help my dad with his illness?"
"If it were someone else, it would be one thing. But since it's your father, I can't just stand by. I can take a look at him," Chen Jie said.
Jiang Xue frowned and reprimanded, "Don't just show off because you know a little bit of medicine. Do you think the Wang family can't afford skilled doctors to treat him?"
In fact, she was helping Chen Jie by saying this. Chen Jie was clearly there to meet the family.
For the Wang family, if the illness couldn't be cured, Chen Jie would only gain a reputation for being boastful and incompetent.
"It's alright, let's go take a look together! The doctor we invited hasn't arrived yet anyway," Wang Xiaoyan said with a smile.
Jiang Xue quickly explained, "Miss Wang, don't listen to his nonsense. He's not very capable but has a big mouth. Don't let him practice medicine carelessly."
In her opinion, Chen Jie's ability to treat Poison Dragon showed some skill, but the Wang family was wealthy and could find any doctor they wanted.
If Wang Xiaoyan's father's illness couldn't be cured, Chen Jie would surely be helpless. Even if he could cure it, the Wang family would definitely be able to find doctors who could.
To the Wang family, Chen Jie was neither here nor there.
Chen Jie, however, was unconcerned and said directly, "Take me to see him."
"You..." Jiang Xue glared at Chen Jie fiercely, thinking him ignorant of what was good for him.
"Let's go," Wang Xiaoyan said.
So Chen Jie left with Wang Xiaoyan.
Jiang Xue hesitated for a moment, then followed behind.
As they walked, Wang Xiaoyan introduced to Chen Jie, "My father had a head injury before. He was hospitalized for a month before recovering. The doctor at the time said that one day, his condition might relapse, and his life might not be saved."
She observed Chen Jie's expression as she spoke.
Her father's illness was very serious this time, potentially life-threatening. Having witnessed Chen Jie's medical skills, she hoped Chen Jie had the ability to treat her father.
Seeing Chen Jie's lack of commitment, she felt a little disappointed.
However, she reasoned that illnesses related to the head were the most difficult to treat. Even if Chen Jie could detoxify her, he might not be able to cure her father's head condition.
With a creak, the bedroom door was opened.
The three of them walked in.
Wang Fa, lying on the bed, seemed to have heard the movement and suddenly began to struggle violently.
